Marrakech, The Desert & Being Friends

G: Yayyy!
A: Hellooooo!

We're at the airport

We're just walking to the gate

We're just complaining about the newspaper selection,

but actually, look at this one babe, quite full

A: The thing is, you used to get mags-
G: will we grab?

Yeah, you don't really get mags anymore,

Who can be bothered to read the FT on the plane when you're trying to just live your life

- oh it's right here. Gate 53
A: oh brilliant

Oh, thrilled. We're gonna sit, we're gonna have a little eat

Much to do

We're gonna look at the tiktoks we have to do 'cause there are many. Plentiful

I was just saying to Al, I'm literally here for the gallies

I literally just know they're going to love it

And so [laughs] lol me being dragged on holiday for the gallies

Um, she stocked up on antihistamines for the camels

G: I'm so worried I'm gonna be so severely allergic
A: oh no, I am too

Cause if you're allergic to horses one million percent you'll be allergic to camels

I feel like horses are similar to camels in their like-

A: nature
G: fur density, yes

So that's good.

So that's good. That's good

Also, do you know what's such a- i don't know whether this is wrong

and whether they're an hour ahead

But it only says 2 hours, the flight. It's a 3.05,

Land at 5.05.

Yeah, they're 2 hours ahead.

A: No but-
G: One hour ahead?

A: But we've just gone forwards
G: I think it's a three hour flight

But we've just gone - oh, yeah, okay must be

Yeah, I think that's right

Oh my god, look, we're going all the way through

Okay girls, see you in there

Guys, sorry I must show you, the EasyJet legroom

This is just appalling, sorry.

Why are you so close?

I look- sorry, it's pretty much in my fucking foof. This is not normal

We've never been so cozy on a plane.

Also, I'm so desperate for a wee
G: are you?

No but how will I get out and get back in like

You won't. You can't go for a wee. There's no weeing on this ship I'm afraid

[intercom]

Prepare the cabin for landing

[intercom]

I was just saying

Al's just actually saying that she's going to um, complain to Easyjet

Guy's I've never felt so constricted [unintelligible] in my life

No, I do think this is abnormal spacing

Oh no, the BA one - Swiss air-

Oh that was heaven- I just popped my ears

Ahh, heaven

I can hear again, wow

No, I - Easyjet you've gotta do something about this, this isn't right

I hate to say it

This is really serious, sorry we're giving you bad PR but it's the truth

It's so tight I can't even get my bag down by my legs

How do tall people-

Do you think we'll be able to have a little rest before we go out to dinner

Guys, what you must know about us is that we live to the beat of our own drum

A: So if we need a rest, that's what we'll be having
G: yeah, sometimes

Too much so. Guys, we've just been pissing ourselves at drive thru

We basically, disclaimer, we hated each other that day

I don't even know why, I don't know what had happened

We have must- we both must have been ovulating or something

We were really such cows, and at the end

We're literally loving each other and having the most fun time

And we were like: sorry, how does it make sense?

How do we get from one to the other?

The people want to know the backstory of it

Because I guess the question is everyone asks us

'Do you guys ever fight?'

Like that's us, really trying to keep a lid on it,

Because we were filming, but if the cameras had been off

We'd have just had a huge fight and then been friends again

But the fights are the best because then we're funniest after a fight

We haven't even had one in ages

Now's not the time

No, I don't think we will this week, I'm not really in the mood

A: I just love you so much
G: We're really good travel buddies actually

A: We are
G: We travel really well together, like

We like, even if we're different, like wakey up times and stuff

It doesn't bother us

We're very considerate of each other

G: Yes, and we kind of like, like to do the same things
A: yeah

Moochy mooch

G: so actually,
A: Shoppy shop

shoppy shop

G: Eatey eat, drinky drink, sleepy sleep
A: We are good travel buddies

It is remarkable, I was thinking about this

'Cause my mum - guys I couldn't fucking tell you

I had dinner -lunch with my mum on mother's day

On mother's day as well of all things

For her to just be loving me

My mum, guys, when I tell you, honestly,

If the two of us were drowning, she'd save her

No, babe [laughs]

I think she just finds it easier to compliment me because-

A: No, listen I love it, as she should
G: maybe when she compliments you,

It's like, feels like she's complimenting her own work

A: No, I know, cause imagine if she hated
G: -me

You know what, and also I've had friends like that in the past

When you try and get your mum to love them,

And my mum, if she doesn't like you there's no chance

G: no, you can't force, you can't force

My mum's love means nothing

yeah, she loves everyone

That is true, that is true

But Sheil, she's a tough cookie to crack

Anyway, she was asking me about, the like,

She was just asking me about [unintelligable]

And I was like, it is actually remarkable,

Considering how different we are, as individuals,

It is amazing, I do really think we are, so like

In sync with our lives, even though we are so different

G:I knoww, that is actually weird

But that is the whole thing of opposites attract, I suppose

Maybe. God, the plane's tilting, I hate it

When it does that, it feels like we're gonna fall over

Guys, when the fucking plane took off, honestly

We were like, 'oh well we'll die here then will we'

Listen, I think it's an old model, or something

It's making very funny noises

We've only had one bit of turbulence though

Which I'm thrilled about

I used to never - I mean, I wouldn't really say I'm an anxious flyer,

But turbulence does send me a bit, actually sometimes

I think it's as as you get older as well

You get a bit more - you know-

You get a bit more aware of death

A bit more protective over your life

Al can't stop talking about death,

Look at what she's reading

'Being Mortal' by Atul Gawande

Gawande

International bestseller; illness, medicine, and what matters in the end

It's about, basically, aging and dying

And then I've just bought a book called

'Why We Die'

She's obsessed

And G is reading 'Butter'

Oh, yes, well I'm just about to finish 'Butter'

And then I bought another one,

G: Oh, you've got it
A: You're not about to finish the book, you're only halfway for god's sake

No, no, I'll finish that in 2 seconds

G: I just haven't had the time
A: Oh really

Well also, I haven't - I've liked it.
I haven't been gripped, is what I'd say

How would you rate this out of 10 so far?

So far I would give it probably like a 5 honestly

A 5's not great

A half out of ten

Well, I'd say I'd give this a 6

G: Okay
A: So, not flowing books for either of us

Ah, well we'll move onto our next ones, yeah

G: I just bought powerless
A: I'll tell you what I'm listening to

Go on

'Thinking fast and slow', which is like a really really bestseller

Sorry, look at this tiny little desert town

I always think, how do they get food?

Can you see? Probs not. Probs can't see anything

Where do they get their produce from?

Well that's like, you know, when you see those people

With the [unintelligible] on the cliffs of dover

I just think, I mean, listen,

I hate people just not as much as that

No, and also I do like to have an M&S close by

G: I do
A: you might as well pop to Gails and get a coffee, do you know what I mean

I do, I do

Right, we best go then 'cause we're going to get told

To put everything down and away, but

um, love you

A: See you there, see you in the riad
G: ri-ad

[in an accent] Right, right

Oh guys,

Oh guys [laughs]

You last saw us so very optimistic on the plane

Sorry, I must move you closer, I hate when you're too far away

Right guys, so, here's what's-here's what's happened

Here's the sitch

We arrived in Marrakech and we made our way to our, um

Accommodation, and, listen

And let's just say, plans have changed

Plans have changed

What's happened is...

What's happened is plans have changed

Plans have changed

Um, and they changed, you know, on a dime, and

They changed on a dime at about midnight

G: plans have changed
A: And, we found

Ourselves trawling the streets of Marrakech looking for an ATM

To get a taxi

Babe, when the ATM said insufficient funds I thought it meant our account

and I was like 'we've been robbed' we've got no money left

We've been robbed. But we hadn't, the ATM had insufficient funds

And we were with this man called 'Hussein' the local tour guide

G: bless Hussein, what a good man
A: and also guys

Yesterday was Eid

A: So like, you've never ever seen a street so busy in your life
G: it was-

A: It was chaos
G: chaos

So yeah, so we swiftly got into a taxi

For some reason there was a lady

In the front seat of this taxi

She got dropped off first. We went completely the wrong way

To drop her off but that's fine

Then we ended up at this new hotel which we're at now

Which is, you know, glorious, funny but glorious

Also the only room they had was a suite

so there we checked ourselves into this enormous suite

G: Luckily Morocco is good value for money
A: yeah

G: so no ones, you know, having to do an arm and a leg for a suite
A: if we'd been in Dubai it would've been a different story

G: so now our itenerary has changed
A: listen, guys-

Our plans have changed... our situation has changed

Pretty much everything about this week has changed

A: other than the fact we hold onto each other
G: this industry-

Yeah, that's the only thing that remains the same

But this industry is crazy, like

Everything just, is just... all up in the air all the time

You must be adaptable

You must adapt and overcome always

A: yes! and I do think
G: and you must

and you must enjoy

G: the fact that it just changes
A: yep, I was just gonna say

and you are able to do that. And you're able to

A: totally
G: make your own decisions

do your own things

I said to her last night, I feel so, like guys,

I'm not joking last night was actually fucking chaos

Like, there was a moment where we both looked at each other and almost sobbed

I could maybe call it hell, actually

I'm not sure- I think if someone asked, like,

'What would your hell look like?'

G: I might
A: It might have been that

It might be similar, like I might spend one day like that

Okay, not hell, but you know what I mean

Maybe purgatory [laughs]

And we just really- and shout out to Lil because

Lil was up late

Lil was up all night

Do you know she said to Lewis

'will I get on a plane? I think I need to go'

Noo

I was like, sorry we sounded that manic

'cause it wasn't that bad

G: it was like, you don't need to leave your bed
A: no [unintelligible] think you sounded panicky

G: Will you have a tiny bit more of this?
A: Yeah x3, definitely, I actually- it's delicious

I actually could have another

Me too

We're just the only ones left at breakfast

'cause obviously we were late to breakfast

but basically, it's actually, you know, like,

we're not going to do what we originally came here to do

but what we are going to do is just actually be friends

and like, actually what a fucking blessing 'cause we never get to do it

and Lil was like, just don't work and just hang out

like, so much of our life is talking about fucking boring accounting and shit

also, but even like how fun to do like tiktoks

like we're fun- like we're silly, like we don't care

like, we're just on holiday as friends, like normal people do

you know normal people make tiktoks guys

A+G: just for fun

I forget that

G: so I think we need to do that
A: and so that's what we're going to do

We're going to really lean in, and also I said to her-

we might get some vitamin D, babe

this won't be hot enough for you, you're going to be a bit tossy turny

but you just have to lie cause it will touch you

No but I also can lie

G: it will penetrate
A: and read

she's gonna do some writing

she's gonna read about death, I'm gonna do some writing

we're gonna go to the- like we're just gonna have a really nice time

and like, you know-

go to the gym. We are gonna go to the Souks tonight

so, you know, hold on to your horses girls cause

If I can get that camera out, I will

Yep

I'm gonna book somewhere really nice for supper

Yep

Like, I've seen some-

A: I will leave all of that to her
G: many good places

yeah, don't you worry about that

A: um, no I just said to her last
G: don't you worry about that

night that I feel so incredibly grateful and blessed

that I can- even in those situations,

number 1: we have each other, and

number 2: that we actually did have the, like

the wherewithal financially

G: I know
A: to actually

yeah, to deal with it, because like,

if being in that-

Ally and G Ltd really were

A: they're fucking good girls actually

a good girl last night, cause she was just like, listen girls

G: sort it.
A: Whatever you need

A: whatever you need
G: sort it however you need to

and it was brilliant

and I was grateful for her

and she is us, and we are she

so that's what we're gonna do guys

G: hello sir
A: and we're gonna just-

and we're just gonna [laughs]

we're at the all-inclusive guys, and it really is like, you know,

G: wristbands,
A: the elderly

shake your wrist if you wanna get pissed

G: I wanna get bladdered this afternoon
A: we're gonna have so

Also yeah, it's just gonna be fun

I can't wait I'm gonna get in the pool

Yeah. I'm gonna go and ask if he can give us a good room

a good price for that room

A: with the pool
G: Al's like: I can barter

I can get a good price for the room

But that's for the pool cause I know in the morning it'll be so nice for you

to wake up and just go straight in the pool

Oh, babe

Yeah, that was my first thought

A: Cause she likes-
G: you're so kind

Cause, cause she likes to swim in the sea

G: I really do and we're not near the sea
A: and I was like, I can't give you the sea,

but I can give you a swim up room

a swim up pool, babe, and you best enjoy it

I will, I'll be in there every morning

So that's what I'm gonna go and barter for

We don't even know when we're coming home yet

Oh, listen I actually think that this is the life we need to get used to

'cause this is how a lot of people in this industry live

and it's very fun

it is

I'm not very good at relinquishing control

I realised that last night, fucking hell

I was like, never

G: will I ever
A: no even at dinner, and I was like

really will I just sit here and like not have picked a restaurant

that did get to me

I hate that, that's- I hate that

unless it's someone I trust, I hate that

A: yeah x4
G: I hate that

and like I am at a restaurant with a plastic menu where

there there are pictures of the food on it

no that- I cannot

Guys, you should have seen us

We got into the [laughs]

We got into [laughs]

I, like- honestly, if you don't laugh you'll cry

I honestly, in the space of 5 hours became a different person

G: like, I looked unrecognisable
A: no and also guys, I tried to

crack a joke, and she was just, at dinner, she just looked at me like this

and I thought: oh dear

No, I literally couldn't even look at you

when that- when everything was happening because

I was like, I'll either laugh or cry

G: So I was just like this
A: no I, I was gonna cry

eating bread like this

also, 5 in 1 minute, she just-

G: I did

I had a whole flatbread in one minute

and then I wanted to reach over to your bowl

'cause no one was eating it on your side of the table

A: no, guys you should've fucking seen us
G: and I drank a litre of water

and we sat on the bed like this, the- I- the

we were saying this last night, like,

sorry, just now, we haven't felt like out of control

like, we're- you know, we run a-

ugh this sounds so cunty but we run a business

and we're in such great control of our lives

yes

and I've not felt like that, so powerless and a bit trapped

A: in so long
G: and also sometimes

that's nice, to lean back and be caught, but

G: sometimes it's
A: when you're with the people you trust

A: it is, like with your family I don't mind my mum picking restaurants
G: not that-

yeah

but like, yeah, not with people you don't know

yeah, yeah

G: so anyway
A: and also guys, the reality

is that I'm not gonna lie, we're not 21

it's, it's fine like I could've sucked it up and done it

had I been 21, not given a shit, like

we have such a routine, we like to do what we like to do

also we're so lucky to like be away

like, we don't actually have

yeah

that many holidays, like, this year

especially at the moment, where like

everyone's got hens and weddings and la la la

it's like actually if you get the chance to go away

G: would you do it how you like to do it
A: totally

which is by that pool, next to Susan from the all-inclusive

Al's just been at the [unintelligible] bar

she's just made a friend, what was her name, do you know?

don't know her name

A: sorry, I must find out
G: she's a scouser

she's a scouser

and she's been to Cape Verde

and now it's time for Morocco

She always goes somewhere for winter sun

Well, literally, I'm on her, I'm on

G: I'm on her wavelength
A: no but I think

she should've gone further south

if she really wanted winter sun

yeah, maybe she didn't want the long haul

Cape Verde, she said, is double the flight

six hours. And she said-

I said 'is it fun?' and she said:

there's nothing to do, there's one bikini beach bar

G: wow, one bikini beach bar
A: guys I'm not joking I got her whole life story

she's got 2 kids, 2nd-

Al honestly you can't stop her

A: always
G: she's always

she's just like 'really? ahaha'

so now we're going to go and barter for a swim up room

we're gonna try and get a room

because currently we don't have one for tonight

so fingers crossed, if not, we will just

sleep on the sunbeds because

A: I reckon
G: I can't be arsed to move again

nah, I think we're here now

the most I can do is pick up my bag, open

G: and trot it to another room
A: and transfer

and also, they'll have a little man to help us hopefully

yes, I think our man will help us,

he was lovely last night, that man

we must tip him

I didn't know we were meant to tip I didn't

G: have any
A: guys, he-

he shook my hand like this and I was like

there's nothing in there

put his hand out thinking 'tip time'

and she shook it

I just shook it

It was so bad

It was embarrassing

A: well what's one more thing
G: I'm just a little girl

I'm just a girl, I don't know how to do that handshake

with the note in your hand, I can't do it

G: That's such like an old man, dad thing
A: that's what dads are for

A: I know, I know
G: I can't do that

that's why I like to date older men, cause they do stuff like that

true, that's true

that's good

where's it gone?

oh no, it's just on the- on my- it's only cucumber

it's not on your kaftan?

nothing to worry about

right, come on then, let's try and get a room

G: I'll show you one if we do get one, okay

imagine. wow babe, this is really influencers in the wild isn't it?

look at you, you look so glorious

can I just say, yesterday I was really trying to be cool but I really stubbed my toe, yesterday

A: where?
G: when I was walking along here

'cause there's varying heights of

A: oh, in the pool, oh yeah, and yesterday guys
G: -ground, and I was just swimming

and then I walked- can you see that's a step there

A: and yesterday guys
G: knocked my toe

A: -the lads, the fucking lads were out
G: yeah, well I was

a bit nervous with the vlog camera that it might draw attention to the lads

er- there is a juicer there

G: and they might come over
A: is that a juicer?

careful, step now

no, it's not, it's a bucket

it's not, it's a bucket, and I don't-

that has orange on it, which makes me think it's not a coffee machine

A: right
G: not looking good for us

this is fun though, look at these little stools

so we can just sit here like this

cocktails, cocktails, cocktails,

G: diet coke
A: cocktails, um

A: waters and wine
G: beer

oh this is so nice!

you could have a vina- er virgin colada,

it's milk and pineapple juice

A: no, I don't want that

she doesn't want that

no, no

no, no, no, no, no

guys, we're desperately trying to find a restaurant for dinner,

but why is everything so fucking fully booked

everything is really fully booked because

we didn't know we were going to be

G: doing dinner
A: here

here. we haven't booked anywhere

no, we can find somewhere- that place you sent me looked nice

it had space didn't it?

but then we're quite- also quite tempted

[G to the bartender] hi, we actually thought you might have coffee, but you don't have any

got to go over there?

A: no worries
G: thank you

we were also tempted to do a bit of street food

street food does make me nervous

but we're also nervous because when we first got here

there was a guy that had-

A: that's put me off

big time food poisoning- but apparently he had jacket potato

I don't know why a jacket potato would give you food poisoning

how can a jacket potato give you food poisoning?

there must have been some kind of funny chilli con carne on top

must be x3

we're going to go into the Souks a little bit earlier today

A: well, because I didn't realise everything-
G: for a proper shop

and I didn't realise everything closed so-

A: early
G: I know, I don't know why I thought it was

A: it's not very
G: -a late city, but it's not

all of the, kind of, stools, kind of close at,

what, maybe 9?

8, 9?

yeah, but by the time we were walking to dinner they

A: were closing
G: they were all kinda closing

so we'll go a bit earlier this time

but we really found our way around, which we were thrilled by because-

we did some good haggling

we did some great haggling, we bought the girls some presents

G: we- we just need Holly and Ror now
A: yeah

G: and what are you in the market for?

Al's still in the market for a bag, she did get a bag, but she wants another bag

what am I in the market for?

as- you want one of those Marrakech bags?

I don't think I do

okay. what else?

I think I could have some...

A: you could have some jewellery
G: rings

there's lots of jewellery here for you

I think I could do some fun rings, 'cause they've got lots of silver

and I know they'll turn my fingers green, but

G: oh well
A: it's got to be done

oh yeah, we've got to buy some dates

I actually might go into the lunch bit in a minute

and get us a little bowl of dates, prunes, and olives, maybe

I was gonna say, would you like a chicken strip?

or a little chicken nugget

oh my god, we should do that, we should just get a bowl of chicken strips and

A+G: mayo

A: heaven
G: delish

they were really good actually, the chicken strips

delish

we should film some tiktoks, really

shouldn't we?

we should. babe, look at where we are

just like, on a whim, we're actually crazy ladies

no no, we're crazy. We're crazy!

We just booked a suite for 5 nights [laughs]

we're crazy

A: ahh, love it
G: I love it,

G: it's actually wild
A: did you see what- did we see

what they did with the towels?

the swans?

and there's some by the

A: sinks as well
G: yes, I did take a picture for you

and that's why I left you a little note, 'cause I felt

G: sad that you might not have seen the swans
A: I know, you're so sweet

A: no, don't worry, I'm sure-
G: and I destroyed the swans

so I wanted to give you something else to have

G: to have and to hold
A: that made me really-

guys, she's so cute

she made me a little note this morning- it's so funny

A: I was thinking-
G: I just wanted you to know you were loved

I was thinking when we have an office I'll leave you a post-it note on your screen every single day

oh, that's really sweet, yeah, I love that

Do you ever do that for Ror on the whiteboard?

yeah, all the time

What, and just say 'I love you'?

I used to do it all the time and I left Newcastle I'd leave him one on the mirror

yeah, that's so romantic

no Moroccan men for Georgina, although last night

A: she did have a-
G: they're not into me

Hamza had wanted- Hamza was more into me than you sadly

Hamza was way interested in- what did he call you, hama-

A: Habibi
G: Habibi

I actually do know some Arabic words, 'cause I have

I have worked for some Arabic clients in my life

So she learnt a bit

Habibi means like, 'darling', 'honey', 'sweetie'

He said I was strong like a man

Yeah, that was a little offensive

And it wasn't great, actually, for my confidence

and then- yeah, but that's okay

A: Yallah, means come on
G: Yallah

Yallah, Yallah

He said it 'unicorn'

Oh it's a unicorn because he doesn't have many of them

I love that for him, what a man

And so basically, he sold one of those bags for 1800 dirham

Which- I have- don't- don't ask me how much- how many pounds that is

I think that't about 160 quid

And we got 2 for 1200 Dirham

Which is about 80, 90 quid

Absolute legend in the game

A: legend in the game
G: we absolutely haggled him there, hardcore

he didn't mind because he loved Ally so much,

and he kept saying-

A: 'do you have a boyfriend?'
G: 'your boyfriend good?'

G: 'your boyfriend good? your boyfriend not good enough?'
A: I have that-

everywhere I go in the world I've had that all my life

What, that people fancy you?

Just like, shopkeepers, I have-

A+G: shopkeepers

A: have a thing for me
G: fancy her

G: that's so funny, I thought
A: and my mum-

you were just saying everywhere I go everyone just fancies me

G: and asks me if I have a boyfriend
A: no, shopkeepers, and always- in Asia, all of the time

A: always I get asked if I have a boyfriend
G: wow

I'm so- it's good, it's good 'cause it means you can really haggle with them

yes, means you can get the best price

so a bit of shopping later, and then

G: dinner
A: and then we'll have some dinner

maybe we'll have a- maybe we'll-

can we go to [restaurant- El Fenne?] for drinks? No, you need a table for drinks?

Ugh, we can try like we did with [other place: dhar dhar?] but it doesn't-

it says no availability for booking

what's the problem with everybody?

I know, they don't want us there. We could try

A: Why don't we go to one of those places in the square?
G: yeah

A: okay
G: before dinner?

A: yeah
G: yeah, I think that's a good idea

like, straight away, like [unintelligible]

yes, like 6.30. Just watch the sun set

A: exactly
G: and then we can go and find somewhere for dinner

A: and then come home and play uno
G: yum

come home and play uno, which we've realised isn't really a 2 person game

yeah, if anyone has any good 2 person games, that are light and easy to travel with us

G: yes
A: please let us know

I am going to buy Mastermind for us

A: okay. What is it?
G: it's quite bulky

is it thinking?

Uh, kind of, you basically have like 5 counters and you create like a colour sequence

but you're on that side, so you can't see my colour sequence, and you have to put in-

A: oh I love that
G: and I'll tell you like- if you got something right, like you'll get it

A: I know! I know, I know this
G: in the right colour but the wrong place

G: and then you have to figure it out. It's quite fun
A: I know this, I like that, I like that

It's a bit like heads-up, but not really

It's a bit like Guess Who

G: Cluedo. Wait, guess who
A: yes, that's the one I mean

A: no no, guess who's the one where you have all the faces, yeah, yeah
G: yes, it's a bit like guess who

it is a bit like guess who

um, and then we'll be on our merry way,

A: back to London-
G: oh no, then tomorrow we're doing the desert

oh, yeah, sorry, we must tell the man

We've got to go and tell the man, we've also got to get the tickets for the bus

For the bus. We've fucking lost the towels so we've got to find our-

Ahh, didn't know the towel rule, no one told me the towel rule

and then yesterday I should've thought 'cause there was no towel buckets anywhere

G: and we did just leave them and I didn't think about it
A: don't worry babe, we weren't to know, we weren't to know

If I'd have used my head, but I was a bit sleepy yesterday

A: guys, we passed out, both of us, fucking fast asleep on those sunloungers
G: kept falling asleep

I'm honestly- I'm trying desperately to stay awake today

No but babe you must sleep. This is why- it's clear we needed a bit of a break

Oh, it's clear. It's evident we needed a break, a rest

G: if you will
A: guys, last night she- honestly you've got some serious problems

G: what happened?
A: right, so she wanted- the first- she was like, air con on 80, air con 80

I thought, I thought 80 is fucking freezing but sure, whatever you want babe

It was hot in there

Last night, she was like, 'I'm absolutely freezing', she went to bed with a dressing gown around her- [laughs]

Al couldn't get over it, and she kept reaching under the covers

G: to like, touch my legs
A: with my foot on her bottom

and she was like 'what, what, you are unhinged'

did you wake up with that thing around your foof?

Yes, all covered- all nicely-

you didn't feel hot? you're mental

not for a second I don't feel hot

you should also guys, we'll show you later on, 'cause she put on her-

on the air con there's a t-shirt,

G: yeah, on the telly
A: on the TV there's a pyjama bottom

fucking street lamps were on apparently

it's fucking Blackpool- sorry I just spat everywhere

It's Blackpool illuminations in there and I cannot sleep

And I've got my eye mask on but with my eye mask I know if there's light

G: in the room, I just know, I can feel it
A: no no, I know

I'm like- oh I just know, and then I get prangy, 'cause

if my eye mask falls off, and I wake up and that red light- I will have a nervy b

A: no it's [unintelligible], yeah yeah yeah
G: I will never go back to sleep

and then she said to me 'you were trumping all night', and I-

and she couldn't stop, this morning you were going again

A: I know, I know
G: are you awake doing it?

I know I'm doing it, yeah, I do know I'm doing it

I'm not holding it in, obviously

G: no, you shouldn't but it's just funny when
A: I wouldn't dare

it's like- if it's like fully in your-

G: sleep
A: [fart noise]

yeah, they're so loud. It's not good

I had the thing with you this morning that I have with Ror every day

when I woke up and she wasn't there and I was like 'oh my god-

A+G: she's left me

G: aww
A: and that's it guys, really

that's it really, that's all to tell, so we'll get you out again in the Souk

show you around when it's daylight

I actually showed you the guy

A: Hamza, oh my god, yeah, of course
G: Hamza, you met him, of course you know him

what a man, he was literally all over Al I was such a third wheel

G: Lady Gaga in the corner
A: I have a Moroccan face, I don't know what to tell you babe

he kept saying 'you've got a Moroccan face',

and he went 'not you', I was like right

A: right. I'll be strong like a man over here then will I
G: right, scottish he said, I was like no

I'm strong over here Hamza, let me fucking beat the shit out of you a few times,

if you step one- if you step closer

I'm strong as bull. But yeah, it was great really

So now we've got to go find a restaurant?

A: yeah
G: and we've got to get bus tickets?

sorry, you in that hat, with the- with this one hair

G: I look like a little ma- a little mum
A: it's killing me

I think it's so mummy. Mumsy. Guys, you can laugh all you want,

G: but when you've got a wrinkly face-
A: no no no listen, I'm not-

my mum would say I look like a rice bowl upside down

yes, it's an upside down rice bowl

G: I love these little hats, I think they're so sweet
A: me too, I think they're very sweet

I'm gonna wear my turban to the desert anyway

OH yes

Maybe we'll get someone here to tie it for us

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Where is everyone? At lunch?

G: maybe we'll have a chicken goujoun then
A: I see some towels

A: look alive
G: guys, we've got to steal a towel I [unintelligible]

Okay, this is the time we're gonna get it now
